aged SO years. He was employed
up to within several years of his
death in the machine shop of the b

time.
THE Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
recommended last week the sale OF
1000 mile tickets at two cents q
mile, good for. one year. The sale OF
mileage tickets was stopped by the
railroads on March Is, when the In

to go into operation. That law does
not prohibit this concession to 1000
mile travellers and the railroaders
are again putting mileage tickets on
sale.
We dropped in at Mr. G. III. Boy
er's store on North Queen St., the 9th

Gated in the green grocery and dry
goods line. Mr.. Bowers has built an
addition to the main store room con-
sisting of two rooms with cellar.
These rooms he has fitted up with
shelves, counters etc. He was oblg-
ed to enlarge the capacity of his store
in order to accommodate the reeds OF
his customers, who now can be sup
piled in abundance and reasonably.
